Title: The lucky Kitsunes
written by: Shaun Witt
Kit had woken up in a strange place. He was laying on a bed with badages wrapped around the areas where his wounds were. He noticed his sword standing up against the nightstand next to the bed along with a clean shirt laying on top of it.
Kit sat up and placed the clean shirt on and grabed his sword. As he did this he heard someone walking around outside. He quietly hid behind the door and waited.
He heard the foots steps stop on the other side of the door and a young sounding female voice said. "There is no need for you to hide. Did the shirt fit you?"
Kit stepped from behind the door and it opened. In front of him stood a lovely looking Kitsune female.
He asked, "Are you the one who tended to my wounds?"
"I am." She answered then asked, "You don't work for Naraku's people do you?"
"No! I am with the resistence." Kit answered.
"Then I have some bad news. A friend of mine said that a rather powerful demon attacked the headquarters of the Resistence." She told him.
"Survivers?" he asked.
"None." She replied.
"I have to get back to my base then." He said walking past her then added, "Thanks for tending to my wounds."
"Wait. I just said the base was destroyed." She said.
"My home base is in Japan." He said stopping in his tracks. "I may regret this later but maybe you should come back with me. With the resistence gone in this area this place will become a whole lot worse."
"Why the offer?" She asked.
"You remined me of someone lost in my life." he rpelied.
"Girlfriend?" she asked.
"My sister Reeni." He replied. "By the way my, the name is Ryu Kitsune. But my nickname is Kit."
"My name is Mai." SHe answered back.
They began to shake hands when they both began to hear people scream and things breaking. They both ran to a window and saw a swarm of demons attacking and killing people on the streets.
"We have to go now!" Ryu told her.
Mai quickly grabbed a small wooden cheast from her dresser. They both ran down the back stairs and into a dark alleyway.
"Where are we going to go?" Mai asked as she became a little afraid.
"There is a small Resistence cell which protects a hidden priestess school. If we can get there we can contact my homebase to see what we should do." Ryu told her.
When the coast was clear they ran towards the woods to seek some cover. They made it to the woods safely and took a breather. Mai looked back towards town and saw the signs of fire all over the place and could even smell the burning flesh of many bodies.
"I thinkI am going to be sick." Mai said.
"At least the wind is coming towards us which means there is even less of a chance they could find us." Ryu said and began walking deeper into the woods.
"Aren't you sick from that smell?" She asked walking next to him.
"Not to sound mean or anything but I have grown use to it." He replied.
They had been walking for several hours and thankfully so far no demons had found them walking around the woods. They came to a small stream and took a break to drink some water.
"How much further is this base?" Mai asked.
"We go up this stream and come to a small valley covered in mist. Hopefully if everything is still ok the barrier there should still be in place." Ryu replied.
"How do we get past the barrier then?" Mai asked him.
"We wait for them to let us in." Ryu replied.
The two of them continued up streem, till they ran into the barrier. They walked around the outside of the barreir hoping someone would notice them.
"Stop right there you two." A female voice called out.
"My name is Kit. I am from The tokyo base ran by Sesshoumaru." Kit replied.
"Who is she?" The female asked.
"A friend who saved me from death." Kit replied.
"You Jewel has a pure light andI feel no darkness from your friend. Why are you here?" She asked.
The two of them turned around and kit spoke up, "The base back in town was hit and destroyed by Naraku's forces. We came here to contact Lord Sesshoumaru to inform him of things and to get any orders."
"Fallow me then." She said.
As she walked towards the barrier a small opening appered in front of them and they walked thorugh it. They fallowed the young human female up to a large wooden house. They both noticed the other young girls training with their bows.
"By the way my name is Rei and I am sort of the headmaster here at the priestess training grounds." She said.
"Where is your communacations room?" Kit asked.
"Just inside here." Rei replied.
"Miss you seem tired." Rei said noting the way Kit's friend looked, "Summer?"
A young lady appered and answered, "Yes head master?"
"Summer, Please escort this young lady to somewhere she can get cleaned up and get some rest." Rei oredered.
"Yes head master." Summer replied.
"Seems you are respected by your students." Kit said.
"That I am." She replied. She walked up to a small door and said, "You can contact Lord Sesshoumaru in here."
"Thank you." Kit siad.
"You are welcome. If you require anything further please feel free to ask one of the students." Rei said before she walked off.
Ryu sat down in fornt of a radio and turned it on. After tuning it to the right frequency he made contact.
"This is Kit trying to contact Homebase. Is anyone their?" Kit asked.
"We Thought you were dead. What happened?" A female voice asked.
Kit told them everything that had happened up to that point. That the base their was destroyed, the town attacked and that Naraku most likly captured the two Shikon Jewels that Kit himself stole.
Knock Knock
"Excause me Mister Kit but the Head master asked me to give you this." A young priestess walked in and handed Kit a small chest.
Kit Opened it up and inside was one of the Shikon jewels he had captured. He pressed the talk button and said, "Seem we managed to keep one of the two jewels i thought we had lost.
"Kit this is Rin. How did you manage to get the jewel back?" she asked.
"Please tell her how you got this." Kit asked the priestess.
Kit held the talk button and she said, "Some one from the base who was badly injured brought it here. But before we could get any info out of him he passed away."
"Kit we need you to bring the jewel back here." Rin siad.
Kit noticed a hint in her voice something was wrong. "What happened Rin?"
Rin replied, "Kagome was on a mission with my mate to meet with an enforment we had. They were attacked and she lost her shards. My mate and Inuyasha could not get them back."
"We will leave at first light." Kit said
"We?" she asked.
"Someone who saved my life is coming with me. "Kit replied. "One more thing."
"What is that?" Rin asked.
"Did you have someone look at the leak in my room?" Kit asked.
Rin thought for a moment and said, "Not yet butI can have someone look at it."
Kit turned the radio off and left the small room. He fallowed the Priestess who brought him the jewel to a dinning hall where everyone was sitting down ready to eat.
Back in Tokyo...
"So Ryu is alive?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"Yes. But we have a problem." Rin replied and added, "Kit said something before cutting contact. He hinted that there may be a leak."
"I get right on that." Sesshomaru replied.
